I do agree Ubisoft is now a shit company, and haven't bought a game form them since Ghost Recon: Wildalnds. However, this being a coverup of secret societies is NOT what this game is. It's a soulless cash grab.
wait, there is zero logic to your comment. the skull and bones society has been around way longer than eleven years. of course this could be intended to draw attention from it.
First off, it's live service. Those games, as much as I want them to die, are nothing more then a way for companies to nickle and dime you. It's a storefront with a game attached to it. Second, it's a Ubi title. I know for damn sure that it's going to get it's burst of players, they see the egregious monetization, and leave in droves, leaving only whales and die-hards who wanted this game.
The other side of the coin though, is that the wiki article for the Skull and Bones Society is also still on the first Google page, and after hype dies down, I don't think that will move anywhere else.
I can agree to disagree on this, as I think it's just an edgy title name for attention grabbing, as is the marketing game. The Skull and Bones title can draw attention to the secret soceity, or it could be a ploy to bury it. However, I will say this.
Ubisoft HQ is a French company. Skull and Bones started as a DLC to Assassin's Creed 4, a part of the Assassin's Creed franchise published and developed by Ubisoft Montreal, a French-Canadian company. Skull and Bones is being developed by Ubisoft Singapore, an Asian company.
Some other Ubisoft subsidiaries that have touched Skull and Bones:
Ubisoft Berlin: Focuses on co-developemnt
Ubisoft Chengdu: Chinese branch that focuses on Chinese localization
Ubisoft Kyiv: Focuses on porting games to PC
Ubisoft Paris: A core in-house developer branch. Since they were the main players behind Breakpoint, they are probably the monetzation team.
Ubisoft Philippines: A sister company to Ubisoft Singapore, and mainly helps them develop games.
I see no American subsidiaries in here that would have sway to bury the Skull and Bones Society.
Not for movies or games, but I tried to find video of trump referring to Biden as oatmeal brains, because I thought he's called him that in the past. Everything that came up was about oatmeal being brain food. 😒
There was also some PPshow discussion yesterday about the various stonk players using the skill and bones symbol a lot. So may have independent meaning for the stonk world.
The hardest part for me is the 60 bones, and conning at least 3 friends to pay the same would be nearly impossible for me, so looks like I'll probably wait til it goes on sale haha
"Guillemot has been criticized as a central figure in the ongoing Ubisoft workplace sexual misconduct scandal. Although not personally implicated in the misconduct, internal communications revealed that he was aware of and tolerated it for years, "as long as these managers' results exceeds their toxicity level". He has been accused of using his position as CEO to cover for the misconduct of people named in various investigations.[4][5] An open letter from Ubisoft employees also criticized him for his lackluster response to the scandal, which included moving accused managers to other departments rather than dismissing them, as well as a reluctance to implement necessary changes to improve the workplace culture.[6]"
As someone who is in the gaming sphere as both a long time gamer and amateur dev, this is not the case. The game has been in development for 11 years.

With the way Ubisoft is hyping it up, I don't think it will have the staying power to be a detractor either.

you really think its a coincidence that ubi is pushing so hard to launch a game with that title?
of course NCSWIC... skull and bones is too big to hide anyways, the cats already long out of the bag.
but this discussion is regarding their intentions... and i still feel sure its no coincidence. obvious desperate coverup.

have you seen them name a game specifically to flood search results on that specific topic? i've seen them do it over and over.
our enemy is not a country.... our enemy is globalists that have infected every country.
Ubisoft Kyiv? and you can't see a possible connection? ok
Yeah this isnt the first time that this algorithm moulding has happened, definitely.
For a company that doesn't really do much they definitely have a pretty colossal reach
I see a couple lol....
The CEO has some sketchy ignorance to sexual assault, and hes been in the market with games since 86 as well
100%
Ubisoft is a shit company that builds games that don't sell. They push DEI initiatives and are 100% a tool of the DS.
Most large gaming companies are tbh.
Yeah thats what I'm kinda getting at I'm glad someone else sees it.
Shit, I remember when BLM was the bureau of land management. Of course that was before Lavoy Finicum got shot.
They have been doing this a lot lately, I wouldn't doubt if there was some sort of planning or influence behind the choice of name.
Any other examples anyone can think of in Games/Movies
Fast & Furious always comes to mind.
Not for movies or games, but I tried to find video of trump referring to Biden as oatmeal brains, because I thought he's called him that in the past. Everything that came up was about oatmeal being brain food. 😒
Found this: Somebody in the crowd calls Joe Biden oatmeal brain
Plausible.

YES.
i first encountered this phenomenon while trying to research "project hammer" mentioned in a video on 9/11.
of course the name project hammer was used for a video game a few years after the event.
vid, for the curious: (45 min on 9/11 connections. but the reference to project hammer is in the first few min) https://www.bitchute.com/video/mYQtQySldxyz/
Right?! Thats what I'm saying, its happened a handful of times why wouldnt that be a possible motive of the gaming megacorps.
I may order this game. The BETA seems good and it looks far better than cartoonish Sea of Thieves.
The hardest part for me is the 60 bones, and conning at least 3 friends to pay the same would be nearly impossible for me, so looks like I'll probably wait til it goes on sale haha
From wiki on the CEO
